Hi! I recently gave the Live wallpaper Bubbleator another try. It is really nice and because it collects lots of data from lots of sources (calendar events, sms's, facebook, rss etc) and shows them together. Unfortunately my old hero doesn't like LWPs much, so I wondered if there is any vertical scrollable widget which can show this kind of info? Slidescreen is kind of the same, but I don't want to sacrifice all of my homescreens to this. The Meego Harmattan also has one of the homescreens which works pretty much like this. Is there any widget out there which can do this?
Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone,
Does the Weather Toggle Widget work properly for anyone on the Dell Streak? I tried this on 1.6 and now again on 2.1 but it always looks messed up. The clock looks great but the weather is always compressed and cut-off on the side. I have tried different skins but always the same result. I really like this application and just want to get it working.
Check the screen capture to see what I mean.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS. I did send a support email to the creator as well so I hope to hear from him eventually.
[FIXED using ADW LAUNCHER (Free) in Market Place]
I was informed that ADW Launcher allows many customizations, including widget sizes. I use this as my home scren now and couldn't be happier having total control over my widgets.
Yes mine was cut off and it is cut off on Beautiful widget

What widget r u using?
I use beautiful home screen, and had a time issue when i flashed to 2.1 in that the time wouldn't change.
Sent and emial off to creator and got a reply very quickly saying to exclude it in task killer and it now works.
Only problem i have now is that the minutes section is over lapping on the right, not a big deal but still an issue.
Have to say tho the beautiful home live weather wallpaper is amazing.
Yeah i tried it too and it wouldn't line up correctly so i had to ditch it.

Hi guys and gals
I'm thinking of making the change to dj steves streakdroid , but to try out the whole new desktop look I have been using adw launcher . Only problem is looking for cool big widgets to go on my now bare screens .
I'm after an email client like the one in honeycomb with the split screen view , to take advantage of our massive screens and a coole email widget to link to it.
A nice big weather widget , that does cool things like the htc sence one.
Scrollable fb widget would be good too, that I could possibly link to the fb for android app
Just really looking for apps that take advantage of horizontal screen orientation.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for these, id really appreciate it.
Thanks

The beautiful weather widget. And I guess the widgets that come with Launcher Pro Plus. Also Pandora and the MIUI music widget.
I don't really think 7 screens are needed so I only use 3. I found the folder organizer app allows me to create short cuts in the launcher for categories of apps. Like I have a short cut in the launcher that goes to the games label. One for utilities etc*
android agenda widget
email widget (fom invalidobject.com)

Link not working for me.
I think this is the thread you want.
Is there a calendar widget like in sense that covers the whole screen? I tried a few but they dont get bigger when u edit them they take up more space.
I was looking for that too. The only one I have found so far comes in Android Pro Widgets.
thanks looks good
Do u know a full screen mail one like the sense one?
i dont know if this helps you but i use calengoo. it tkaes up the whole screen works well with google calendar or native android calendar.

has various sizes, you can also resize to fit full homescreen - if your launcher permits
Hi there,
Anyone know about a widget which puts all the posts from the "big ones" in one, scrollable feed? I want Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and various RSS feeds in one big feed on one of my home screens, preferably with customizable colours.
Must be more people wanting this... right?
Thanks in advance!

Try Sonet

Thanks for the tip, and sorry for the late reply! I tried Sonet, and it had all the functionality I needed, just one drawback: wasn't really stable enough for day-to-day use.
If anyone stumbles upon another similar app I would be happy to know.
Thanks again!
I see that there are many calendars available for nooks, but none seem to have a nice looking UI. My wife has an ipad which comes with a very nice display, along with day, week, month views and daily tasks and reminders. The closest I can find is Pocket Informant, but while this scores high in functionality, it just doesn't have that "wow" in appearance.
Are we stuck with these sub-par looks on android?
PS. I'm running CM7 on NT.
Well, the default CyanogenMod9 (ICS) calendar is really nice. But youre on CM7, id recommend flashing the CM9 rom instead, but thats user preferance.

There are a ton of calendar and task widgets out there for Android. They won't change the guts of the calendar, but they will affect how you interact with it. I'd recommend trying out Android Pro Widgets by Dr. Appche or Agenda Widget by Everybody All The Time. Android Pro is skinnable (and has many other widgets besides calendar). Agenda Widget isn't skinnable, but you can configure pretty much every aspect of the widget to your heart's content.
You should check out business calendar free, it is pretty user friendly and allows you to sync with your Gmail calendar. The widget is also useful and lets you have all of your upcoming events on the homescreen. Plus, its free.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've seen all of these and was hoping for a nice interface along with good functionality. It seems that there is no nice, spiral like interface like working on a day planner like there is on the ipad.
Try aCalendar from the Play store. I use it on my phone and NT.
